I still love my 1592 Singer machine, a.k.a. cast-iron boat anchor. Forwards & backwards through anything--lightweight cloth no problem, corsets easily built.
I learned on my mom's machine of the same sort. Hers came in a cabinet, and had a knee pedal--very useful when one is too short to reach both the machine & any floor pedal.

She asked what would be a good starter machine. Does any one here have recommendations?
